January 13 (warming up)

Oh, yeah, Rob scored major points today, although really he didn't need them—they were extra credit; he bought us sleds from Sam's Club and a big stainless steel thermos which he filled with Stash Mango-Passionfruit tea, and with no complaints from me, planned a date to Rock Canyon park for some screaming rides down the sides of the big basin. So it was a bitterly cold night; who cared? Not us. It was an easy but magnificent escape. It's been years since we went sledding! We weren't the only ones shouting out goofy glee in the moonlight; there were people sliding down the slopes on sleds, toboggans, inner tubes, garbage bags, Rubbermaid lids, and even a blue plastic kiddie pool. I'm not sure I know the words to relate how nice it was to have a break from home stresses and usuals. My poor sled didn't survive the night, but Rob was able to return it for a refund, along with his. Maybe next time we'll go the kiddie pool route.

Here is my tea-maker, offering me a steaming drink to warm me up inside my many layers, which included two sets of woolen undies. (I take a chill very easily, though it ain't for lack of natural insulation.)

What a guy! What a night! What a thermos! What a long wait for Korean food (one hour from the time we ordered) after we finished playing outdoors, but it was tasty!

My name's Geo

Hello! Pleased to meet you. So you know who you're dealing with here—I'm in the middle of my life, but not the middle of the road. I've been married to my best friend for 20+ years. He and I have just become first-time parents through adoption, and we are totally smitten by our little girl. I am quiet by nature, love people, think too much. I am creative with a good sense of humor, which I'm not above turning on myself (though I'm gentler with others). I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—grateful and inquisitive. My faith is relevant to every aspect of my life. I love that God encourages and answers questions. My life is good. So is yours. We've got a lot in common.
